- The property would seem to possess potential for lode gold mineralization within the so called "grey zone" or carbonaceous mafic volcanic. These grey zones are currently being mined at the Hoyle Pond Mine approximately 20 kilometers northeast of the gold discovery in Kamiskotia.
- The property also possesses excellent base metal opportunities as evidenced by the Kamkotia, Genex, Jameland and Canadian Jamieson deposits. As there are four base metal deposits locally there may be potential for additional base metal discoveries in the area.
Size: 2144 ha (134 units, 61 claims)
Target Minerals: Gold, zinc, copper, lead
Regional Exploration and Production:
The area was traditionally known for its base metal potential. A suite of F3 rhyolites which are similar to the Kidd Creek deposit trend in a north-south fashion through the central portion of Godfrey Township.
Other Local Exploration:
Small producers in the area include Genex, Kami-kotia base metal deposits. Project located approximately 5 km North of Lake Shore Gold's West Timmins Project. 5 kilometers north of Lakeshore. Approximately 6 kilometers northeast of Melkior in Carscallen Township.
Property Geology:
This area has been host to a number of base metal deposits including the Kam-Kotia, Jameland, Canadian Jamieson, and the Genex Mines. Historic exploration in the area has primarily focused on the base metal potential with limited gold exploration.
Historical Highlights:
In 1991, Falconbridge Exploration, while testing the base metal potential in the area, drilled a series of north-south trending conductors. The first drill hole intersected 82.2 g/t Au over 1.5 meters, including 306.0 g/t Au over 0.4 meters in what was described as a "grey zone" within mafic volcanics. These grey zones are important gold mineralization host rocks at the Hoyle Pond Mine approximately 20 kilometers northeast of Timmins.
Follow-up drilling by Moneta Porcupine Mines in 1993 drilled along strike and up dip of the gold intercept intersected the favorable horizon. Recent compilation work done by the Company suggests en echelon gold-bearing quartz carbonate veins hosted within this grey zone may cross cut stratigraphy.
Work Completed to Date:
Structural and compilation work is underway to obtain a better understanding of the area and determine the continuity of the gold values obtained in the 1991 drill program.
